I just upgraded a whole pile of packages on my unstable workstation. I have been using: dselect update dselect install to initiate the upgrade process.
I used to use: apt-get update apt-get upgrade but because of a problem with libxrender1 I switched to the dselect method. See: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200309/msg02782.html for more information. When I tried to upgrade this "whole pile of packages" today I received the following error for the libstdc++2.10-dev package: Setting up libstdc++2.10-dev (2.95.4-18) ... sh: line 1: /usr/share/info/iostream-2.95.info.gz: No such file or directory install-info(/usr/share/info/iostream-2.95.info.gz): read gzip -cd </usr/share/I nfo/iostream-2.95.info.gz |: 256 dpkg: error processing libstdc++2.10-dev (--configure): swubprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: libstdc++2.10-dev E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are importaint.

I then reinstalled both of these packages and received the same error. Thanks for your time. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
